Smart Notebook Software


What is Smart Notebook?

Smart Notebook is the software that accompanies the Smart Interactive Whiteboard. It works in conjunction with the Smartboard, providing a place for interactive and engaging classroom lesson activities. As we saw in previous lessons the Smartboard works very well with other software applications. What separates Smart Notebook is that it is completely interactive with the smart board. There are no small toolbars or overlays. Instead there are dozens of tools and options, that we will learn about below.

There are many different ways to access the Smart Notebook software.
1. Right Click on the small icon in the lower right hand menu. Chose the first selection of the menu that appears: Notebook.
